Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the results of the Dysphonia Severity Index (DSI) and Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V) between patients hospitalized with COVID-19 and healthy subjects, as well as to investigate the correlation between DSI and CAPE-V.
METHODS: Cross-sectional survey.
METHODS: Eighty subjects, 40 COVID-19 patients (with a mean age of 41.2± 5.41) and 40 healthy subjects (with a mean age of 44.50± 3.50) participated in this study. Assessments included the DSI for aerodynamic-acoustic measurement and the Persian version of Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V) for evaluating auditory-perceptual voice quality. Data were analyzed by means of the independent t-test and Pearson correlation at the 5% significance level.
RESULTS: The results showed COVID-19 patients got significantly lower score in DSI compared to healthy subjects (P < 0.05). Moreover, the patients with COVID-19 had higher scores in all categories of voice production (severity, roughness, loudness, pitch, strain and breathiness) than the healthy group (P < 0.05). Comparing the result of the two voice assessments in each group revealed that there was a greater negative significant correlation in the diseased group (r p: -0.68, P: 0.001) than in the healthy group (r p: -0.37,P: 0.049).
CONCLUSIONS: Hospitalized COVID-19 patients experience deviations in the voice quality and acoustic-aerodynamic features of their voice. Also, the results of this study showed the patient group had higher perceptual dysphonia and lower voice quality compared to the healthy group. Further studies are recommended to determine the relationship between objective and subjective voice evaluation in patients with COVID-19 after recovery.

摘要：
目的：本研究旨在比较COVID-19住院患者和健康受试者的发音障碍严重程度指数（DSI）和语音共识听觉感知评估（CAPE-V）的结果，以及研究DSI和CAPE-V之间的相关性
方法：横断面调查。
方法：80个科目，40名COVID-19患者（平均年龄为41.2±5.41岁）和40名健康受试者（平均年龄为44.50±3.50岁）参加了这项研究。评估包括用于空气动力学声学测量的DSI和用于评估听觉感知语音质量的波斯语版本的共识听觉感知语音评估（CAPE-V）。通过独立t检验和Pearson相关性在5%显著性水平下分析数据。
结果：结果显示COVID-19患者的DSI评分明显低于健康受试者（P<0.05）。此外，COVID-19患者在所有语音产生类别中得分较高(严重程度，粗糙度,响度,螺距,应变和呼吸）高于健康组（P<0.05）。比较两组的两种语音评估结果，发现患病组（rp：-0.68，P：0.001）的负相关性大于健康组（rp：-0.37，P：0.049）。
结论：住院COVID-19患者的声音质量和声音的声学空气动力学特征出现偏差。此外，这项研究的结果表明，与健康组相比，患者组的感知发声障碍更高，语音质量更低。建议进一步研究以确定COVID-19患者康复后客观和主观语音评估之间的关系。
